NGD: Jumbo not so jumbo

This is only my second Martin but a ways away from my first which was a richlite board d16gt. It was a nice guitar but nothing particularly special.

I've since stuck to OM bodied guitars. 

I'm sometimes a heavy strummer so when the opportunity to try this J40 out came up it made a lot of sense. Skinny top, fat bottom (but thinner on the lower bout than the average Jumbo).

One of Martin's 'newer' shapes, introduced in the 80s. Searched the forum and couldn't find any reference to this particular model!

    Thanks guys, it's a pretty sweet guitar. I thought being a 40 series it would be too blinky but it's actually quite muted and tasteful.

    @schnozz it's an LR Baggs M80

    I'll try and get a recording up at some point when I can set up a mike.

    Lovely.

    Nice view from the room, too, btw.
